'Zing’s' runner beans available year-round

Zing! Healthy Foods™ Amazing European Runner Beans are not your average bean. They are twice the length and size of a typical green bean, which means double the flavour and double the benefits. Zing! Healthy Foods were first to re-introduce these beans to North America in 2013 and are ready to ship their latest crop.

Foodies can delight in these beans since they're so versatile, says Jordan Kniaziew, vice-president of sales and marketing.

“They always have a dedicated spot on my BBQ, and I cook them like I would asparagus, with a coating of olive oil, lightly seasoned and dusted with some freshly grated parmesan."

In a typical serving, you can also gain 15 per cent of your daily recommended fibre.

The demand for these unique beans has been at an all-time high, so Zing! Healthy Foods is making sure they are available year round.

"You could literally watch the stalks grow. In a short four-week span they have grown well over 12 feet high. Every day I'm amazed when I check the crop. Our team is excited to get these to market and in homes while continuing the momentum we've had in North America,” says Kniaziew.
